The Big Picture by Lennie Peterson for December 27, 2018

Let’s ask Ginger what she prefers.

A drummer. Phfffft! Before midnight, he’ll be wasted and start a fight with the cow. Won’t hear from him again for a week.

I hate that song. It militarises Xmas.

“Shall I play for you, ba blat blat blat blat

O-on my bone?"

Splort! Glad I didn’t have a mouthful of coffee!

For another couple of variants, there are these, from “Off the Mark”.
